Datsan Gunzechoinei

in Photography Lovers3 years ago

Man cannot live without faith. I am not an adherent of any world religion and I am not a member of any sect. But that doesn't mean I don't believe. To turn to God, I do not need intermediaries, I simply turn my thoughts to him and we communicate.

At the same time, I respect any religion (except Satanism), be it Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism or any other. I like visiting sacred places. As a rule, these are places of power. Yesterday I visited one such place. This is a Buddhist datsan.

Someone calls it a "prayer drum", someone - a "prayer wheel". For Tibetans, this is the "wheel of Mani", and for the Mongols, Kalmyks and Buryats - "khurde". But no matter how it is called, the essence remains the same - this is an important attribute in Buddhism.
It is a cylindrical product made of wood or metal of absolutely any size - from a few centimeters to several meters. Fragments of mantras are applied to its outer, visible part, and inside it contains a folded thin sheet, on which prayers are also written, repeated many (sometimes up to a million) times and turning into a cycle.

Khurde contains the sacred meaning of incredible power - one revolution is equivalent to pronouncing an infinite number of mantras written on the bundle. Thus, by applying physical effort along with spiritual impulses, a person can bestow good not only on himself, but also on everyone he is thinking about at the moment. It is believed that the wheel can help anyone who believes in its power, whether you are young or old, a Buddhist or a follower of another religion.

These prayer wheels are installed in a small courtyard in front of the datsan. The yard is fenced with walls, it is quiet and cozy. It's especially nice here on a sunny day.

I don't know the correct name for this hearth. Maybe a smokehouse or something. Incense is burned there. From the mouth of this lion in an oriental style "spews" smoke.

This lion guards the entrance to the Datsan, but we will look into it anyway...

It was inconvenient for me to take a photo in a sacred place, but I still could not resist. I hope that the Buddhist monks and lamas of this temple will excuse me.

I believe in myself, an alive aether and my connection with it (does it mean dead?) and Sophia. :3
Flow and Manifestation in aether is like magic.

Mem viruses (archons) can go fuck themselves with their death cult (they tell us life came from death and conciousness is an illusion xD they just dumb and envious)

Great pictures as always!
I think they Show very important very old tech.

Have a great weekend, ser :)

I understand live ether as the energy of life, it's bad when people lose touch with it.
There is no death. There is only a change in the form of energy. Death is a fake, which is convenient to exploit with fear in mind. There is a transition from one state to another.

Thanks for the kind words and support @tipu
Cheers and !BEER

I agree with all of this, 100%. It's heartening to see others share it, too.

I am also glad that you share these views.
Religions should not divide people, they should keep peace on earth.
